Abstract

The current paper is dedicated to the problem of finding the number of mutually non isomorphic bipartite graphs of the type g=Rg,Cg,Egg=\langle R_g ,C_g ,E_g \rangle at given n=Rgn=|R_g | and m=Cgm=|C_g |, where RgR_g and CgC_g are the two disjoint parts of the vertices of the graphs gg, and EgE_g is the set of edges, EgRg×CgEg \subseteq R_g \times C_g. For this purpose, the concept of canonical binary matrix is introduced. The different canonical matrices unambiguously describe the different with exactness up to isomorphism bipartite graphs. We have found a necessary and sufficient condition an arbitrary matrix to be canonical. This condition could be the base for realizing recursive algorithm for finding all n×mn \times m canonical binary matrices and consequently for finding all with exactness up to isomorphism binary matrices with cardinality of each part equal to nn and mm.
